If my mother had milk that had turned she would make scones.
I usually mix mine with water (flour, marg,sugar & fruit - no egg).
Is there some reason why SOUR milk is better than ordinary milk or was it just thrift to use it up?

But since I splosh rather than measure the liquid, mine are different each time. They don't taste of sour milk (which I hate) Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html

Re: sour milk in sconesMy mother always used sour milk in scone making. They were so much lighter in texture and the sour flavour didn't come through. I use buttermilk which makes a similar scone.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: sour milk in sconesI learned a new method for scones a couple of years ago.
warm the milk and add some lemon juice to curdle it, so your mum wasn't wrong :) It's the only way for me now. Scones come out really light I think. It is an alternative to buttermilk. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4622 ... tted-cream |
